Will a queen bed fit in a small bedroom?

A queen (150×200 cm) fits many small bedrooms, but you need walking space on at least one side and clearance for the door and wardrobe. Try it on your plan to be sure.

How much clearance do I need around a bed?

About 60–75 cm (24–30 in) on the sides you get in from, plus space for any wardrobe or drawer doors to open. ToScale shows these gaps as you place the bed.

Will my bed fit in my room?

Quick answer A double is 135×190 cm, a queen 150×200 cm and a king 180×200 cm. Add 60–75 cm on any side you get in and out from, and about 90 cm where the bed faces a wardrobe, so the doors still open.

A bed that fits the wall can still leave no room to open a wardrobe or walk past. ToScale places your bed on your real floor plan at true size so you can see the fit — and the clearance on every side — before you buy.

Upload your floor plan, set the scale once, then add your bed at its real size and drag it against the wall. A double is about 140×190 cm, a queen 150×200 cm and a king 180×200 cm — add nightstands and a wardrobe to check the whole layout works.

Leave at least 60–75 cm (24–30 in) beside a bed to get in and out, and enough room for wardrobe or drawer doors to open fully.

Standard bed sizes

Mattress sizes are fairly standard, but a frame and headboard add width and length — so plan for the bed, not just the mattress. Place your bed at its real size in ToScale to see how much room is left to walk and open doors.

Bed size	Mattress width	Mattress length	Good for
Single / Twin	90 cm (35 in)	190 cm (75 in)	Kids' rooms, small single bedrooms
Small double	120 cm (47 in)	190 cm (75 in)	Solo sleepers who want more room
Double / Full	140 cm (55 in)	190 cm (75 in)	Couples in compact bedrooms
Queen	150 cm (59 in)	200 cm (79 in)	Most main bedrooms
King	180 cm (71 in)	200 cm (79 in)	Large main bedrooms
Super king	200 cm (79 in)	200 cm (79 in)	Big bedrooms, spread-out sleepers

A bed frame usually adds 5–15 cm on each side and a headboard adds length, so measure the whole frame — not the mattress — and enter that size in ToScale.
